Fuuuu

[TheHurl]

Please please tell me that Gibbons really did use a 33 PA split size to pitch a lefty against Abreu. He had a 201 wRC against LHP last year

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

That Reyes at bat just friggin brutal cost us the chance and the game, ffs!

 

I don't mind swinging at strike but that pitch was so friggin off the plate, just why?

 

If he is smiling or grinning in the dug out too, I hope Someone decks him!

he did

[Governator]

That was the most pathetic drive of the game of all time.

[KingKat]

he did

 

I guess he doensn't mosy on water after all.

[TheHurl]

he did

 

I think that was Buck and Tabby's take...I'd hope that Gibbons was just thinking more what happened. Anything but an Abreu HR is not a problem.

it would be nice if the stars could align for a couple weeks. the Pitching shows up and we dont hit, the hitting shows up and the pitching sucks, the pitching and hitting show up and the Defense doesn't show up.... or none of them come and it's a really bad game.

 

the potential is there.... need all 3 to show up for a couple weeks and the Jays could be in first.

[Governator]

I love watching Cabrera run after balls. It's just entertaining.

[Angrioter]

I dropped Colabello yesterday for Carson Smith

[Governator]

It just feels good seeing average or better pitching for a stretch longer than 1 game. Dickey doesn't count, because f*** Dickey.

At this point you need to reset you expectations for Dickey. Think of him as a #4 or #5 and he's pretty good.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Dickey has regressed to the mean

[fatcowxlive]

YESSSSSS!!! LETS GET IT!!!!! RALLY CAPS!!!!!

I wonder what % of Pillar's plate appearances have started off 0-2.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Jays keep knocking

[fatcowxlive]

f***ING PILLAR

 

COME ON GOIIIINS

[King]

Good hustle

[bronson44]

is Tolleson available?

[Candy Maldonado]

damn

[guylaroche5]

tolleson our saviour?

[o2cui2i]

my dislike for Pillar is increasing....

 

what an ugly swing he has.

[Governator]

He's just so inconsistent. It's either lights out or batting practice. JA Happ would be a nice replacement.

[KingKat]

Interesting to look up the off-season trade dominoes and how the team shuffled around its depth. 2B is a hole so Gose becomes Travis but that exarcebates the lack of OF depth. Happ became Saunders which should have addressed the OF issue and Lind became Estrada which partially addressed the lost pitching depth from that and the Donaldson trade. Smoak, more or less, replaced Lind and since Injured/older players (and Navarro for whatever reason) need DH starts, going cheap there seems pretty smart in hindsight. Pretty good offseason that could have been downright great with a bit more payroll commitment.
